It has been reported that opium poppy can treat cough and stomach disease, and that grandma xu, who lives in ninghai street in the city of liangyun, planted 3,400 poppy seedlings in small gardens. On 12 march, after receiving a response from the population, the civilian police of ninghai police station arrived at the scene and, upon registration, immediately eradicated it, and grandma xu was subjected by the public security authorities to mandatory measures of bail pending trial for suspected illicit cultivation of narcotic plants。
Cultivation of 3,400 poppy seedlings for old coughers
"we grow like opium poppy in grandma xu's little garden!" on 12 march, liu jin, deputy director of ninghai police station, received a telephone call from a resident. The police station immediately organized a quick police visit to the location where the residents reported it, and when the civilian police came to grandma xu's garden, they were shocked by the scene: the vegetable garden was planted with a plume of opium poppy。
"we took a careful count and found a total of 3,400 radiums. Saplings, register and eliminate them immediately." the civilian police found grandma xu, who planted opium poppy, at the scene for questioning. Her grandmother, who had been questioned by the civilian police almost eight months earlier, had confessed to the crime of poppy cultivation。
She said that she had grown this plant because she heard from her peers that its shells (commonly known as poppy shells, cannabis shells) were “a treasure” for a variety of diseases, such as cough, stomach disease, diarrhea, and so many other diseases, and because she was old, had a bad body, often coughed and had a bad stomach. Recently, because of the cold and heat of the weather, the old man coughed again, and said, "in a few days, i'm about to pull out some of these seedlings and drink some soup, see if i can cure the disease, and i'm being shoveled out before i taste it!" as the police officers in charge of the case worked hard to think, grandma xu finally realized the seriousness of her actions and assured them that she would never grow again。
Chronic poisoning caused by chronic eating by doctors
On 15 march, journalists contacted dr. Lee, the city hospital. According to him, a large number of elderly people believed that opium poppy could cure the disease, and that opium poppy cultivation occurred in isolated areas, such as rural areas. Indeed, the juice in the poppy fruit, which is “opium” after drying, contains 10 per cent of bioalkalis, such as morphine, which is paralysing and has some discomfort, but some rumours exaggerate its effect “if people are addicted to chronic poisoning for long periods of time and seriously endanger their health”. Dr. Lee said it was important to go to the hospital for scientific treatment after illness。
Civilian police found illegal opium poppy cultivation and reported it to the police
Liu jin, deputy director of ninghai police station, explained that, as a result of awareness-raising efforts, more than 4,300 poppy seedlings had been detected and eradicated in the bailiwick since the beginning of the eradication campaign, which had yielded some milestones. “citizens may report to the public security authorities any offence involving the cultivation of opium poppy.”
According to the civilian police, article 350 of our penal code provides for the compulsory eradication of all illicit cultivation of narcotic plants such as opium poppy and cannabis. The penalty shall be imprisonment, detention or control for a term not exceeding five years and the fine shall be: (i) the cultivation of more than 500 opium poppy plants and less than 3,000 or other drug plants, (ii) the cultivation of which has been dealt with by public security organs and (iii) the resistance to eradication. At present, grandma xu is subject to mandatory measures of bail pending trial by the haizhou public security directorate on suspicion of illicit cultivation of narcotic plants.

Poppy, the beauty of beauty? One second to identify the poison plants
In recent days, our city has launched a special campaign to combat the cultivation of narcotic plants such as opium poppy. Indeed, some innocent and beautiful members of the poppy plant are often mistaken for “toxic flowers”. The anti-narcotics department of the police of haizhou provides a method of identifying the drug-related plant, which, in addition to distinguishing it from the skin and taking a picture with a mobile phone, can broadly identify what the flowers are。
As a homogenous plant, the common beauty of the park is similar to opium poppy, not to mention ordinary people, and some grass-roots civilian police are easily confused when identifying such flowers. “the two flowers are not easy to distinguish, so they often give rise to misunderstandings and controversy among the population, but they look alike and are very different.” the chief of the anti-drug brigade of the haizhou public security department, yang, said again。
The whole image of the opium poppy is stronger than that of a beauty whose name is the flower. It is soft, thinner and has visible hair. The petals are as smooth as silk, colourful as silk, orange yellow, purple and red, and most of the petals are four. The opium poppy, on the other hand, is a smooth tuber with few branches and thick leaves. Poppy flowers are mostly the red of demons, which is much larger and more glamorous than plumes, often with heavy petals and a clear sense of heavy weight。
More closely, they can also be identified from leaves, poppy leaves are irregular sawn and wide, while beautiful leaves are narrow and divisive. If they produce fruits, it can be seen that the fruits of the prairie are also small, with wool and down, while the fruit of the poppy is smooth and often long。
“for ordinary people, the above approach seems a little complicated, thanks to modern technology, and now has a more convenient identification tool — the micro-intelligence applet — which requires only a photo of a mobile phone to identify the flowers in general.” yang added that, following this little procedure, the true “venomful flower” poppy flower could not escape its sparkling eyes and take pictures of the original form。
In addition to this small program, there are a variety of mobile phone apps, such as the `plant identification' `flower partner'. However, police friendship alerts: the results of such minor procedures, the identification of app are for reference purposes only and the actual results are based on a professional assessment。
